Stand With Arizona (and Against Illegal Immigration)

May 8, 2010 ·

America: Mexico's Outsourced Welfare System, Part 2 (see part 1 here: http://is.gd/c1gfb). We are frequently told that Mexican immigrants (the vast majority of total illegals) are "just coming here to work". That they "contribute more than they take" from our nation. Well, facts are stubborn things. Data from households with at least one working person show a very different reality.
Mexican immigrants are 2.5 times as likely to be on welfare as native born Americans. 2.3 times as likely to be on food stamps. 2.5 times as likely to be receiving Medicaid payments. Over 5 times as likely to receive subsidized school lunch programs. And more than 3 times as likely to be eligible for 'Earned Income Tax Credit' (EITC) payments--a staggering 53% of all Mexican immigrants. (The EITC is also a big carrot for producing anchor babies in the U.S. Even if a child's parents are deported, any uncle, aunt, grandparent or sibling can continue to receive a check for the child).
So even among Mexican immigrants who work, the amount of welfare they drain from our system is staggering. It is simply untrue that they put in more to our nation than they take out. Moreover, the fact that their use of welfare is so high even for those who WORK--shows that any "guest worker" or amnesty program would merely blow up our deficits even further. At a time of accelerating debt and staggering unemployment, can we really afford such a massive drain on our resources?
And just as important, when you look at that chart, those tall green bars are the money that MEXICO should be spending on its citizens. But they get off scot free. Enough! We all support LEGAL immigration. Not an unchecked, unlawful tsunami of welfare dependency. Tell your legislators to support Arizona and pass similar laws in your own state...

You're worried about Mexicans that come here for a better life (not that I condone illegal immigration) and cost the U.S money yet you aren't worried about the millions and billions we spend on bases all around the world? Bases that protect American interests not VITAL interests. Do you have any idea how much that costs? Nevermind the amount of aid we give Israel and the disgusting amounts we spend on Israel's agenda.

Where's the thread about that?

Start one. Those are some pretty good points.
